Don't think we can go with Ablett, Keinhorst and Handley in the three quarters. If we're down to the bare bones I would consider Burrow at FB, with Watkins and Keinhorst in the centres and Walters dropping to the bench. Sinfild to cover DH.

19 man squad is Watkins Hall McGuire Burrow Aiton Peacock Jones-Buchanan Ablett Sinfield Ward Cuthbertson Sutcliffe Singleton Keinhorst Walters Yates Mulhern Handley Lilley

What about the other 18 players?

So assuming sicknote doesn't make it, and Keinhorst is playing in that totally irrelevant game. I assume it will be

Sutcliffe
Handley
Watkins
Ablett
Hall
McGuire
Burrow
Peacock
Aiton
Singleton
Cuthbertson
Ward
Sinfield

Yates
Mulhern
Walters
Lilley

I would like to see Lilley given some game time to see if he's up to it.
But I'm not sure that the (probable) 5 minutes or so game time he'll get will tell us anything.

I'd go with a similar team to Gotcha, though I'm hoping Keinhorst will play and I'd have Cuthbertson on the bench to give us some impact.

1. Sutcliffe
2. Handley
3. Watkins
4. Keinhorst/Ablett
5. Hall
6. McGuire
7. Burrow
8. Singleton
9. Aiton
10. Peacock
11. Ablett/Yates
12. Ward
13. Sinfield

14. Lilley
15. Cuthbertson
16. Walters
17. Mulhern

I would go



1 Kallum Watkins
2 Ash Handley
3 Jimmy Keinhorst
4 Liam Sutcliffe
5 Ryan Hall
6 Danny McGuire
7 Rob Burrow
8 Adam Cuthebertson
9 Paul Aiton
10 Jamie Peacock
11 Carl Ablett
12 Stevie Ward
13 Kevin Sinfield

14 Jordan Lilley
15 Brad Singleton
16 Andy Yates
17 Robbie Mulhern

Shouldn't need any persuasion really. Yeah I get the whole 'representing your country' line but chances for Keinhorst to play games for Leeds are few and far between and if I was in his shoes I wouldn't pass up the chance for a game. For his career, the best option would to play for Leeds and try and have a strong game.

If no JJB & Mulhern: Watkins, Handley, Keinhorst, Ablett, Hall, Sinfield, McGuire, Singleton, Burrow, Yates, Sutcliffe, Walters, Ward.
Bench: Cuthbertson 35 mins stint bridging H/T, Aiton 20 mins at hooker and rest 2nd row rotation, Lilley & Peacock 20 mins in 2nd half. If we're out of sight then just flog Yates.

If no JJB & Keinhorst: Watkins, Handley, Ablett, Sutcliffe, Hall, Sinfield, Hall, Singleton, Burrow, Yates, Walters, Ward, Cuthbertson.
Bench: Mulhern, Aiton, Lilley, Peacock unused substitute if no injuries to other props.

No JJB & Keinhorst: Sutcliffe. Handley Watkins Ablett Hall, McGuire Lilley, Cuthbertson Aiton Peacock, Ward Walters, Sinfield.
Burrow Yates Mulhern Singleton.

I wouldn't play Lilley on the bench as it wouldn't be beneficial to him and he probably wouldn't be brought on if we're losing. Starting would be better as we could bring burrow on.

Lilley didn't play for 19's today, so guess he must be playingl
